A member asked:
I'm on amoxicillin for a dental abcess. i have chills and fatigue, but no fever. could this be a medication reaction? do i stop taking amoxicillin?

Call Dentist: Chills/fatigue may be due to the antibiotic or due to the abscess toxins. Report your symptoms to your treating Dentist. Antibiotics will reduce spread of infection, but a cure requires specific dental treatment (root canal or extraction). Please call your Dentist now.
